About the Item

It was during last summer, a dinner on Carlo's mansion over the lagoon, I naively asked Carlo if he would like to make a brass chandelier design for me and the lab I use. Carlo Nason is on the lighting designer wall of fame, known worldwide for his innovative designs in glass during the roaring decades of Italian design. He worked on some metal projects. I remember the Nana collapsible desk Lamp made for Lumenform, in a Memphis style. Caro took the challenge and next day he showed me his sketches. The idea is not to group the arms into a base and a common pole stem, but to have all the arms becoming stems. Like a bundle of stems, in Italian fascio or fascina, so the wordplay name Fascino (Charm) for the chandelier. The lab owner was thrilled to be working on a Carlo Nason design as well as I am honored. Each arm diverges with a different arm and can be rotated on its axis. The result is a random orientation of the light output. In one picture I placed all on one side and one on the other, just to show the infinitive possibilities of this design, There is brass a disc to keep the upraising arms parallel. Shades are in black painted aluminum. There will be an ivory version soon. A wonderful midcentury interpretation. Technical data: Total drop can be shortened. Carries 8 E14/E12 sockets. Inside of the shade can be ivory in order to increase light output. Copyright Carlo Nason Measure of diameter is made considering the arm most open.

Sistema Chandelier by Piattelli Design, 8-shade
By Silvio Piattelli, Bruno Gatta, Stilnovo
Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
This chandelier uses an ingenious rotating stem structure and features a shallow drum-shaped shade at the end of each arm. The chandelier arms are designed with two lengths so that each can be staggered at different angles. They work well in any space and suit both regular and low-ceilinged rooms wonderfully. The result is uniform lighting from above the dining table. There is nothing else like this on the market. There are beautiful chandeliers available, but they always tend to give out too much light in the center and too little at either side. This is the largest Sistema chandelier with 4 arms and 8 shades. Ideal for a long rectangular dining table. Each shade has two LED strips that can be lit separately. In this way you can have either a regular light or a stronger light depending on how you need to use the chandelier. The LEDs are top quality with a CRI of over 80. This ensures that the natural color of food and people can be seen perfectly. See the next to last photo, where there is some fruit and a color chart below the chandelier. The LEDs are on a 24V direct current feed, so there is no flickering. The arms can rotate 180 degrees, for many possible combinations. See the drawing for the two regular positions. The chandelier can also be rotated when it is lit. The shades can be rotated on the arm axis to meet any lighting needs in a living room (paintings, bookshelves etc.). The shades have neutral white glass fixtures. Please see the photos. On the back there is a smaller Lucite opening for giving ambient light. The chandelier has the ingenious brass finishes of the orbitale collection. This listing shows measurements for a dining table and the smallest drop. A change of drop is complimentary. Please see the last image for all sizes and ask for high resolution technical drawings if you need them. Please see the drawing to get an idea of sizes for the different chandeliers. On the upper side of each disc there is a smaller opening to provide ambient light. Top-quality LEDs with over 80 CRI, meaning that the lighting does not alter the color of food and people. The LEDs are on a 24V direct current feed, so there is no flickering. The arms can be rotated 180 degrees to configure various combinations. As well as two rows of evenly-spaced lights over a dining table, a regular 8-shade star or 4-shade star (see photos) are possible, as well as creative sculptural shapes. The arms can be rotated even when the chandelier is lit. The shades can also be rotated on the arm axis to meet any lighting needs in a living room (paintings, bookshelves etc.). This listing shows the smallest drop. A change of drop is complimentary. Silvio Piattelli copyright and design. Specifications (Note: The Sistema chandelier has glass shades, while Sistema Solare...
